Notes: Book Club Edition, both copies. “The wars were marked by the anguished screams of children seeking parents no longer able to hear; by the moans of teen-agers enslaved, even mutilated, by an alien race; and by the cries of soldiers and warriors whose life blood was draining away to crimson the land.  Each race had its heroes and its villains–and no monopoly on truth and right.  Both performed deeds of daring and dishonor, of valor and cowardice, of magnanimity as well as meanness of spirit.  And, as always in war, one side won and the other lost.”  (From the Preface)  Concentrates on events after 1846, and the Apache, Navajo and Comanche.
